I know it doesn't seem right, I agree, but simply adding the smart router adds a significant delay on the client end. I have observed this directly. Is
there something else to adding a smart router?

No. All I can suggest is that you run the server in debug mode, with and
without the smart router, with timestamping turned on, and see if the
debug output give you any clue as to what is happening.

I suspect a delay caused by DNS lookups during address verification.
Check the DNS setup of the smarthost.

FYI, I dug up a further source of delay in my setup -- virus scanning with SpamAssassin. I disabled SpamAssassin scanning on authenticated connections, with the reasoning that I trust my users (I know all of them personally) and if their machine was infected with a spamming virus, it wouldn't be using authenticated connections to my exim server to do its dirty work.

Now my authenticated client connections are blazing fast again...
